Never trust, never believe, For it is just not meant to be Forget the hopes, forget the dreams, Things are never as they seem. Remember the past and try to learn, When you play with fire you get burned. Don't reach out for what you need, It'll never be there, can't you see? All you'll find is betrayal and pain, And it will slowly drive you insane. So learn this lesson and learn it well, It will save you from a living hell. From this path you can not stray, So don't be tempted by what they say. You know the truth of the way it must be, Don't think for a minute that you can be free. On this path long ago your feet were set, This is the one thing you must never forget. Never again reach out with your trust, Everything you touch turns to dust. You were never meant to hold on to love, Haven't you learned that lesson enough? Look back once more over your past, And see the truth for what it is at last. Feel the pain that surrounds your heart and soul, Don't ever expect it to you let go. Hide behind the walls, let your heart turn to stone, Get used to lonliness, and standing alone. What you crave and dream you will never find, Is all just an illusion in your mind. The sooner you learn the better off you will be, This is your fate, your destiny. Stop believing in fairy tales, reality is at hand, Take you head out of the sand. Open your eyes and the truth you will see No one can love you, it's not meant to be. Pain and loneliness are you closest friends, The ones that will stay with you until the end. No one else wants what you have to give, Alone till the end, is how you will live. Never dream the impossible dream, It's too hard to hold and can't be redeemed. The prison is real, it will always be your home, You can't escape, deep down you have always known, The verdict came in, your sentence is eternity, Stop longing for what you know can never be. Don't dream about tomorrow, it will never come, Just concentrate on being numb. 04/25/95 By Emerald
